Automotive rearview mirror support-post-mounted glare shield

Abstract

A sun glare shield which attaches to the rearview mirror mounting post of most passenger vehicles to block unwanted sunlight that comes in around the rearview mirror when driving into a low sun, designed to prevent the driver from being blinded by the glare. The glare shield consists of one planer panel of foam rubber with a slot coming up from the bottom, in the center, to slide over and grip the rearview mirror's mounting post.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A glare shield for attachment to a passenger vehicle's rearview mirror mounting post, comprising
 a rectangular member having a generally flat, flexible body   an elongated longitudinal slot in the member, with said slot having at one end an entry mouth along one of the latitudinal edges of the member and terminating at the other end within the body of the member,
 said slot having a width smaller than the diameter of the rearview mirror mounting post for which it has been designed. 
   
     
     
         2 . The glare shield of  claim 1  wherein the slot has parallel sides that engage the surface of the rearview mirror support post to support the body of the member by the friction between the rearview mirror support post and parallel sides of the slot in the member.
